Clean sheets

2.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 15 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 90.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 22.2, Martínez carries the 51st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Pro League of 73. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~11), then tapers with age. At 35, Martínez sits on 3.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Martínez's projected Rating — 22.2 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
